 Take care not to disconnect the USB cable while data is being 
transferred between the scanner and computer during scanning.
 The USB connector to which the scanner is connected on your computer 
must be one capable of supplying 500 mA / 5 V of power.
 Do not connect the scanner to the computer before installing the  software.
Using a USB Hub
The scanner cannot be used when it is connected to a computer via a bus-

Auto Start Switch
There is an Auto Start switch at the rear of the scanner for setting whether 
to operate the scanner as a storage device.
Depending on the position of the Auto Start switch, the scanner operates 
as shown below.
 Turn the Auto Start switch ON or OFF before you connect the scanner to a computer. If it is turned ON or OFF after the scanner is connected to a 
computer, the scanner may not operate properly.
 When you use the scanner with the Auto Start switch turned ON, the 
computer needs to be started before you connect the scanner to the 
computer. If the scanner is connected to a computer that is not started 
and the feed tray of the scanner has been opened to turn ON the power, 
the computer may not be able to start.

you cannot store scanned images or any other data on 
the scanner.)
OFF The scanner is recognized as
 a scanning device by the

Scanning the following types of documents can cause a paper jam or 
malfunction. To scan such a document, make a photocopy of the 
document and then scan the photocopy.
Postcard
Business Card
Card
 If you place cards to be fed horizontally, they may not be ejected 
properly, and cards that get jammed may be damaged when you 
remove them. Take care of the orientation when placing cards.
 Embossed cards may not be able to be scanned correctly, depending 
on the type of embossment.
A document must meet the following criteria to be scannable:
● When scanning multiple documents of different sizes, place 
the documents so that they cover the entire span of the feed 
rollers.
● Scanning documents before the ink is dry can cause problems 
with the scanner. Always make sure that the ink on a document 
is dry before scanning it.
● Scanning documents that are written in pencil or similar 
material may make the rollers and scanning glass dirty, which 
can lead to smudges on the scanned image and transfer the 
dirt to subsequent documents. Always clean the internal parts 
of the scanner after scanning such documents.
● When scanning a two-sided document that is printed on thin 
paper, the image on the opposite side of each page may show 
through. In this case, adjust the scanning intensity in the 
application software before scanning the document.
● It is recommended that thin documents are fed one sheet at a 
time.Wrinkled or creased 
documents Carbon paper
Curled documents Coated paper
Torn documents Extremely thin, translucent 
paper
Documents with paper clips 
or staples Documents with excessive

(see enlarged image) all the way out toward you.
3Load the document.
 Before you load the document, thoroughly fan the pages.
 Straighten out the creases and folds at the ends of the manuscript.
 If the document is curved, straighten the document before 
loading it.
 Load the document into the feed inlet of the scanner with the  scanning side of the document face down and the top of the 
document pointing down.
4Align the document guides with both edges of the loaded document.
 Press the document beneath the tabs of the document guides.
 Up to 10 pages of plain paper can be loaded at the same time. 
Make sure that the document does not exceed the loading limit 
marks ( ) on the document guides.

When the document is inserted all the way in, the paper pressure 
holds the document in place automatically.
Be sure to load the paper straight in.
(If the document is slanted when loading to the back of the paper 
pressure, it will not be fed correctly.)
 A scanned document is ejected behind the scanner. Do not place any 
objects behind the scanner.
 If double-feeding occurs, reduce the number of pages that you load 
into the scanner at one time.
 When scanning small size of multiple documents such as receipt, use 
documents which have the same width.
 Depending on paper quality, you may hear unusual noises while 
scanning some documents, but this  does not indicate a malfunction.
5When the scan is finished, set the document feed tray back to its 
original position.
Set the document feed tray from the pulled out position back to its 
original position.
